These photos are out of order….again
These are wings of an owl. My sweetheart belongs to the Native American Church and we use feathers for our fans, which we then pray with. The entire way home from Montana, Josh was on the lookout for feathers. We made several out of the way turns to go back and get said feathers…but thats another story. He had thought these were hawk feathers but, after showing them to an elder we learned they were owl. BUT……..
He DID find these red tail HAWK feathers and was over the moon excited. It was like Christmas!
This is him going to retrieve the tail feathers and lay tobacco down for the birds life. (like a prayer)
Since we are going BACK in time with this post…here is another cute place we stopped on our way home.
If ONLY this photo was more in focus….look at our jolly little elf!
Oh Montana….
REAL jerky….we chose buffalo but have deer in our freezer that I plan on making jerky out of.
I couldn't stop taking photos of all the beautiful barns in Montana
It snowed SO much after we arrived. The most its snowed in 15 years!
We stayed at Joshs dads most of the time, outside Kalispell, but were able to drive four hours as a family, to see his grandma and aunt dorie that live in Big Sandy on a 4000+ acre farm that his family owns...
It was here….atop the infamous "Antelope Peak", on his families farm, that he asked me to marry him.
:)
Joshs family is Chechslavakian (spelling?) and his dad showed us all how to make Haluski, a family dish. Here is Mae helping make the little dumplings.
Great Grandma
Montanans..drive with GUNS
Joshs brother, below. He looks so much like Josh that Kellen was very happy to go to him.
Joshs dads house was so beautiful...
It was a wonderful trip and we have decided to move to Montana in April. :)….stay tuned
